So for three years you have taken from the work of hundreds of others who have
provided you with a free database and a working driver to use along with it,
but now when there are signs of trouble, you're just going to pack up and
leave?  Why not dedicate just one of your programmers to working on the ODBC
driver full time?  This way you can assure that all of your issues with the
driver are still addressed, you'll save the costs of switching to another
system, and still get an extremely robust database for the cost of one
programmer? Seems like a good investment to me.
